Intersen Phase Merit System
We follow a merit system where learners are rewarded for a positive work ethic by receiving merits which earn points for their respective houses. These learners are identified weekly and stand up for acknowledgement in our Junior and Senior Assemblies. The house with the most points at the end of the term will win the house trophy.
Our annual prize-giving for Grades 4 – 7 is held at the end of the year, to celebrate the learners’ academic achievements
